    It’s a tough read, ~700 pages, and doesn’t help that Toyota comes up with the strangest names for a lot of stuff. The pdf availability is a small mercy, with search function.

    I glance through the sections of interest in the manual, and keep it in the car to refer to specific questions as they come up.
    I tried to read my pip manual on a flight to California and back. Ten hours, I was only halfway done, and couldn’t remember anything anyway.
    How many pages on seatbelt’s?
